Hi  
I want to load a dataset that has segments and then i have an xlm file with the name for each segment. Is there any easy way of making the names link to the segments?

You can load the label file into Slicer as a color table. After that when you load the volume file in Add data module you can select that color table in the additional options on the right side.
